New names for US military posts Citat:During the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, in many US cities Confederate monuments were removed during the second half of 2020. This also drew attention to the names of US military installations which were named after Confederate military. Lawmakers established a commission to remove all names, symbols, display monuments and paraphernalia that honor or commemorate the Confederate States of America. This commission completed its work by 1 October 2022.
Nine major US military installations were placed on the list to be recommended to be changed: Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Gordon, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Hood, Fort Lee, Fort Pickett, Fort Polk and Fort Rucker. Scramble obviously has its focus on aviation, so looking at this list the following US Army posts draw our attention since they house aviation units.
